Cub Scouts is a year-round program that offers fun activities that promote character and leadership development. Our program is designed to be hands-on, and parents are encouraged to play an active role in our programs. Scouting embraces the outdoors through camping, hiking and water sports. We also focus on helping our communities through service projects, STEM development and building confident kids through our wide range of activities. The Cub Scout program is designed to develop physical, mental and emotional fitness. Fitness includes the body (well-tuned and healthy), the mind (able to think and solve problems), and the emotions (self-control, courage, and self-respect). Scouts BSA: Youth 11-17 years old. This is the traditional Scouting experience for youth in the fifth grade through high school. Service, community engagement, and leadership development become increasingly important parts of the program as youth lead their own activities and work their way toward earning Scouting’s highest rank, Eagle Scout. Through the advancement program, a Scout can progress in rank though achievements, gaining additional knowledge and responsibilities. Earning merit badges provides opportunities for Scouts to be introduced to a lifelong hobby or a rewarding career. In Scouts BSA, youth take responsibility for the activities of the troop. By planning and organizing activities, they develop teamwork and learn to lead as well as follow. Through the support of parents and religious and neighborhood organizations, Scouts develop an awareness and appreciation of their role in their community. VENTURING: Young men and women ages 14-20 (or 13 and completed eighth grade). he purpose of Venturing is to provide experiences to help young people mature and become responsible and caring adults. Young people in Venturing learn leadership skills and participate in challenging outdoor activities. Venturing focuses resources that help a community organization provide wholesome, flexible, well-rounded, challenging activities, tailor-made for teenage youth. Those resources include access to Scout camping properties, a recognition program, youth protection training, and specific program helps for a variety of outdoor disciplines. SEA SCOUTS: Young men and women ages 14-20 (or 13 and completed eighth grade). Sea Scouts was organized to address members’ boating skills and promote knowledge of our maritime heritage. Sea Scout units, called “ships,” focus on sailing and cruising either sailboats or power vessels. During the boating seasons, Sea Scouts learn to maintain and operate the vessel, with a focus on learning the safe and proper methods of handling boats. Sea Scouts also learn the meaning of buoys and lights, how to take advantage of wind and tide, and how to drop anchor or approach a dock. EXPLORING: Young men and women ages 14-20 (or 13 and completed eighth grade). Exploring units, or “posts,” focus in a single career field, such as law enforcement, fire/rescue, health care, or skilled trades, and are sponsored by a local government or business entity. Young adults involved in Exploring will gain practical knowledge of and experience in a career, and engage in program of activities centered on career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character development, and leadership experience to encourage the development of the whole person. They also have opportunities to take on leadership roles; and have a chance to learn and grow in a supportive, caring, and fun environment.

  • Scoutspeak 101 November 2020
    Washington Crossing Council Scout-Speak 101 A guide to help you understand the various terms, phrases, program components and acronyms that are used in the BSA program. Organization COUNCIL – A council is a voluntary association of citizens, including representatives of organizations that are chartered by the Boy Scouts of America, to promote the Scouting program within a geographic area. There are four major functions involved in achieving the purposes of a council: membership, fund development, program, and unit service. These four functions and all other responsibilities are accomplished in each council in a manner that is consistent with local conditions and circumstances. DISTRICT – Unlike councils, which establish policies and programs, districts carry out the programs and policies of the council in their respective territories. For the purpose of unit service, program administration, membership, and fund development, the council territory is divided geographically into several districts, as determined by the executive board. The supervision of Scouting in each district is exercised by the council through a district committee consisting of all council members residing within the district, chartered organization representatives, and district members at large. KEY 3 - The Council Key 3 consists of the Council President, Council Commissioner, and Scout Executive. They meet informally as necessary to ensure proper coordination of the work of the council. They furnish liaisons between the commissioner staff and the various committees of the council. They may also provide proposals and recommendations to, but in no way usurp the authority of, the executive board or executive committee of the board. November 20, 2020 Page 1 of 16 Council Support The thinking here is that Scouts and volunteers see only 20 percent of what councils provide to members.

  • The Patriot Press
    The Patriot Press http://www.ncacbsa.org/patriot/press Volume 21 April 2018 Issue 04 Patriot District National Capital Area Council Boy Scouts of America Pinewood Derby 2018: Another Great Day of Cub Scout Fun! The annual Patriot District Pinewood Derby – the Super Bowl of Cub Scouting – was held on Saturday, March 10, at Living Savior Lutheran Church in Fairfax Station. The event was once again a smashing success, with 157 Cub Scouts from 18 District Packs competing. From the smiles and sheer volume of raucous laughter, clapping, and Scouting-mayhem, it was evident that everyone, from the youngest Cub Scout to the most, um, “seasoned” Scout leaders and adults, had a fabulous time. Cub Scouts competed in either Speed or Show categories within their respective Den groups: Tigers, Wolves, Bears, Webelos, and Arrow of Light. Participating Cub Scouts personified good sportsmanship throughout the day, and it was truly inspiring to see these young future leaders act in such a mature and honorable way. Joining the competitors were highly energized parents, siblings, and friends who arrived in waves as the day progressed to share in the fun and cheer on their Cub Scouts. PWD 2018: The Largest Such Event in the Last Eight Years Leading the planning and execution of this exciting event again this year was Pete Griffiths, Patriot District Pinewood Derby Chairman, serving in his eighth year as Race Director and track/timing engineer. Clearly the highlight of the day, ALL day, was the entertainment provided by the Masters of Ceremony tag-team of Andy Chaves (Pack 1101 Cubmaster) and Joe Margraf (Troop 1346 Assistant Scoutmaster), who captivated Cub Scouts and spectators alike with their unique and masterful, non-stop, always-stay-on-your-toes shtick.

This guide offers a brief description of each lodge/cabin/campsite with photos where available. Resica Falls Scout Reservation Situated in the beautiful Pocono Mountains, Resica Falls Scout Reservation is a 4200+ acre Scouting Paradise. Set in what seems like an endless track of mountain trails, clear streams, and waterfalls is an amazing program of activities for Scouts to enjoy both for their summer camp experience and for units to enjoy a camping weekend. Resica Falls was founded in 1957 by a joint effort between the Valley Forge and Philadelphia Councils to create a huge parcel of land for Scouts to use for generations to come. Although the Valley Forge Council would become the sole proprietor of the property in 1965, these same two councils would merge in 1996 creating the Cradle of Liberty Council where Scouts from Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties would once again find themselves stewards of this wilderness treasure.
